I've had the DVD for the first Pee Wee Herman movie from Netflix for about a week now, and still haven't watched it.
I got it with the intention of going straight to the commentary since the movie is really simple and easy enough to follow along with. I played about 5 minutes of it before realizing how truly disconcerting it was that Paul Reuben's voice is NOTHING like Pee Wee Herman's. It bugged me a little, I knew I wouldn't be able to watch it while sitting in front of my PC, so I stopped it and put in something else.
I'll spare you all a review of Tommy Boy, though. I make no promises on Billy Jack, though.

That one's in the running. After all, it contains one of film's greatest moments, being when Large Marge shiveringly relives the terrifying midnight accident in which
"...there was a sound... like a garbage truck... being dropped off the Empire State Building..."
Don't *uck with Tommy Boy. One of the best stupid humor movies ever made. I practically weep with laughter during the airplane scene. And I don't even drink, or eat paint chips.
As big a fan as I am of Chris Farley, I have to say the whole buddy thing with David Spade was overplayed (and in what ... THREE movies?), and I place the bulk of that blame on Spade. Farley could change characters in a heartbeat (so long as they were big, goofy, & clumsy). Spade was always a despised, unlovable, downright hate-able straight guy (whereas I'm more a fan of the Phil Hartman or Bob Newhart straight man routine). Abbot & Costello they were not. I'll take Dumb & Dumber or Dude, Where's My Car over Tommy Boy, but I may need to get that Chris Farley SNL/"Best Of" video to tide me over.
The Best of Farley is definitely worth the money.
I knew Daniel and I could find common ground somewhere.
